00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:24.001
[...]

00:00:30.001 --> 00:00:32.001
There goes another one down the way.

00:00:33.000 --> 00:00:37.000
Another tank off the assembly
line and into America's line of

00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.000
defense, making America strong.

00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:44.000
But the strength of a nation rests on the
health of the people, on the health of

00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:48.001
the army, on the health of the men in
factory and farm who equip and feed the

00:00:48.001 --> 00:00:52.001
army, on the health of all the
people in every walk of life.

00:00:53.001 --> 00:00:54.000
That's important.

00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:56.001
So just how healthy are we?

00:00:57.000 --> 00:00:59.000
For instance, how are your teeth?

00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:00.001
Have you thought of them lately?

00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:04.001
Well, that's what we want to talk about,
about your teeth.

00:01:05.001 --> 00:01:09.000
Will everybody in the audience please run
the tip of his tongue over his teeth,

00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:11.001
just to get into the spirit of the story,
please?

00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:13.000
That's right.

00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:13.001
Thank you.

00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:15.000
Just like that.

00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:17.000
That's the idea.

00:01:17.001 --> 00:01:18.000
Thank you.

00:01:19.001 --> 00:01:20.001
And what do you find?

00:01:21.001 --> 00:01:22.001
Anything wrong?

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:26.000
Bridge work?

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:30.001
Missing teeth?

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:35.000
That's what I thought.

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:39.000
Well, now that we've taken inventory of our own

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:41.001
teeth, let's go on with the story.

00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:45.000
Here is a scene familiar to
every part of the nation.

00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:49.000
Selective servicemen being
examined for physical fitness

00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:50.001
prior to their induction in the army.

00:01:51.001 --> 00:01:52.001
Would you like to take [...]

00:01:52.001 --> 00:01:56.000
Would you be surprised to know that
more men are rejected for bad teeth

00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:57.001
than for any other reason?

00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:03.001
That of all those termed unfit for service,
20% were turned back

00:02:03.001 --> 00:02:05.000
because of dental disabilities.

00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:08.000
That's an alarming figure.

00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:13.000
And if so many of these men who should be
in the prime of health have bad teeth,

00:02:13.001 --> 00:02:16.000
what about the rest of our 130 million?

00:02:16.001 --> 00:02:18.000
What about you?

00:02:18.001 --> 00:02:20.000
It's something to think about.

00:02:22.001 --> 00:02:24.001
There goes another one.

00:02:26.001 --> 00:02:27.001
Turn down by the army.

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:31.000
Turn down by business.

00:02:33.001 --> 00:02:35.000
Turn down by the girls.

00:02:35.001 --> 00:02:37.000
Can't get to first base.

00:02:37.001 --> 00:02:40.001
A failure in the army, in business, in romance.

00:02:41.001 --> 00:02:43.000
Reason, bad teeth.

00:02:44.001 --> 00:02:46.000
Result, bad appearance.

00:02:47.001 --> 00:02:48.001
But what about this chap?

00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.000
Take a good look at him because he's
going to be with us most of the picture.

00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:56.000
Name, Danny Smith, age 24.

00:02:56.001 --> 00:02:58.001
Husky, clean-cut, young American.

00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:00.001
Looks like he has good sound teeth.

00:03:01.001 --> 00:03:03.000
Did he take care of them?

00:03:03.001 --> 00:03:05.001
Is it just luck or what?

00:03:06.001 --> 00:03:10.000
For the answer to that, we'll have to go
back to the time when Danny reached the

00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.000
ripe old age of two years.

00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:15.001
A point in life that suggests to his mother,
he should be taken

00:03:15.001 --> 00:03:17.000
to the dentist for an examination.

00:03:18.001 --> 00:03:20.001
Mr. Smith is a little surprised.

00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:21.000
What?

00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.000
Take a two-year-old to the dentist?

00:03:23.001 --> 00:03:24.000
Nonsense.

00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:30.000
But Mrs. Smith reports that at a meeting
of the mother's club, a doctor advised

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.001
parents to take their children
to the dentist as soon as

00:03:32.001 --> 00:03:34.000
all the baby teeth are through the gums.

00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.000
But Mr. Smith still thinks the
idea is pretty ridiculous.

00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:40.001
Children of two going to the dentist.

00:03:41.001 --> 00:03:43.000
Silly, says Mr. Smith.

00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:47.000
So, they go to the dentist.

00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:50.001
The doctor gets off to a good start with
Danny and makes him feel right at home.

00:03:53.001 --> 00:03:55.001
Child psychology, they call it nowadays.

00:03:56.001 --> 00:03:58.001
Danny takes the examination in his stride.

00:03:58.001 --> 00:03:59.001
Doesn't mind it a bit.

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.000
In fact, he enjoys the experience.

00:04:05.001 --> 00:04:10.001
He'll remember it as good
fun when it comes time

00:04:10.001 --> 00:04:12.000
for the next visit in four months.

00:04:12.001 --> 00:04:16.000
And Mr. and Mrs. Smith are going to
remember it too, for the doctor told them

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.001
many surprising things about teeth that day.

00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:23.001
For instance, he informed the Smiths
they could walk along anywhere and stop

00:04:23.001 --> 00:04:26.000
almost anybody and find
they have decayed teeth.

00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:29.000
Yes, anybody at all.

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:31.000
Take this in a hurry, gentlemen.

00:04:31.001 --> 00:04:34.000
Like almost everybody else,
he has decayed teeth.

00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:36.000
And what does he do?

00:04:37.001 --> 00:04:38.001
Well, let's see what he does.

00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:43.001
He thinks it over very carefully
and then decides he's too

00:04:43.001 --> 00:04:45.000
busy to take care of a little cavity.

00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:48.000
It doesn't hurt, and after all,
what's a little cavity?

00:04:48.001 --> 00:04:49.000
Nothing.

00:04:50.001 --> 00:04:53.000
Months go by and a year goes
by and then what happens?

00:04:53.001 --> 00:04:59.000
Our friend comes running and now the
little cavity has become a big cavity and

00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:00.001
the little pain is a big pain.

00:05:00.001 --> 00:05:03.001
So suddenly, he's not too busy.

00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:09.001
He wouldn't bother with the cavity,
bother with bridge work, and he didn't want

00:05:09.001 --> 00:05:12.001
to run up a bill, so now it's a big bill.

00:05:18.001 --> 00:05:20.001
After all, what's a little cavity?

00:05:22.001 --> 00:05:24.000
Well, the years pass.

00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:29.001
Danny, a normal youngster of normal taste,
and that includes candy, grows into a

00:05:29.001 --> 00:05:31.001
stalwart young man of excellent appearance.

00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:36.001
Glowing with good health, he reflects the
advice and care of his mother, who saw

00:05:36.001 --> 00:05:40.001
to it through the years of his boyhood
and after, that Danny had the best of

00:05:40.001 --> 00:05:44.000
physical attention,
particularly in the matter of his teeth.

00:05:44.001 --> 00:05:48.000
Those regular visits of Danny's to
the dentist have paid dividends.

00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:53.001
He has strong, fine-looking teeth,
and they unquestionably aid in the favorable

00:05:53.001 --> 00:05:58.000
impression one instantly gets of this alert,
pleasant-looking young man.

00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:02.000
Just as they played their part some months
back when Danny made application for

00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.000
an important job that meant a lot to him.

00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:09.001
Perhaps you question the statement that
teeth strikingly affect your appearance.

00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.001
If so, take a look at those about you.

00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.000
Better yet, look at this lovely...

00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:20.000
Since this picture is about faces,
observe how bright, healthy teeth

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:22.000
complement her attractive face.

00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:24.000
Nice teeth always help.

00:06:24.001 --> 00:06:28.001
We don't appreciate how essential
they are until we make comparisons.

00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.000
As in the case of these gentlemen,
note how teeth affect their appearance.

00:06:34.001 --> 00:06:38.001
This first one, would you say there was
competition for Robert Taylor here?

00:06:39.001 --> 00:06:40.000
Or here?

00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:41.001
Or here?

00:06:42.001 --> 00:06:45.000
After all, what's a little cavity?

00:06:46.001 --> 00:06:48.001
We see he has good, sound teeth.

00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:53.001
A must if he would be healthy,
and a must if he values his personal amongst.

00:06:54.001 --> 00:06:59.000
Well, like some of us,
he sometimes on June 18th.

00:06:59.000 --> 00:06:59.000
[...]

00:06:59.001 --> 00:07:03.001
That's today, and you're supposed
to go to the dentist, remember?

00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:07.000
No, he doesn't remember.

00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.000
Well, we've got some bad news for him.

00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:14.000
He doesn't know it yet,
but one of his teeth is beginning to decay.

00:07:15.001 --> 00:07:18.001
The strange part of it is,
Danny takes good care of his teeth.

00:07:19.001 --> 00:07:21.001
For example, he eats good, solid food.

00:07:22.001 --> 00:07:23.001
Very little sweets.

00:07:24.001 --> 00:07:26.001
But his teeth are decaying anyway.

00:07:27.001 --> 00:07:28.001
That's how teeth are.

00:07:29.001 --> 00:07:34.000
There's no way of stopping the decay,
except by going to a dentist, having it

00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:36.000
removed, and the tooth filled.

00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:42.000
Danny brushes his teeth every day and
properly too, but that doesn't stop decay.

00:07:42.001 --> 00:07:45.001
His teeth and your teeth need more than a bath.

00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:47.000
They need a dentist.

00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:50.001
The dental appointment has
been completely forgotten.

00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:56.001
Danny is hard at work, but unfortunately
for him, the decay is also hard at work.

00:07:57.001 --> 00:08:01.000
He just doesn't realize how he'll
look if he loses that tooth.

00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:03.001
It does make a difference, doesn't it?

00:08:08.001 --> 00:08:12.000
Danny is going to be just another man who
wouldn't bother with a little cavity.

00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:18.000
That is, unless something happens,
unless something warns him of the danger.

00:08:20.001 --> 00:08:22.001
Wow! Well, Danny got his warning.

00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:26.000
The cold water did the trick,
and he's lucky it happened

00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.000
before the decay had gone too far.

00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:33.000
Yes, the cold water was the pause
that remembers, the pause that

00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:34.001
made him remember he forgot.

00:08:35.001 --> 00:08:40.001
And before you and I can say,
see your dentist regularly, Danny

00:08:40.001 --> 00:08:42.001
will be sitting in the dentist chair.

00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.000
And the decay has been checked,
and the tooth saved.

00:08:47.001 --> 00:08:49.001
But what's all this got to do with defense,
you ask?

00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:51.001
Plenty, I assure you.

00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:56.001
Now and desperately is the time
for all good men and all good

00:08:56.001 --> 00:08:58.000
women to come to the aid of their country.

00:08:59.000 --> 00:09:03.001
We the people can't render 100%
aid if we the people have bad

00:09:03.001 --> 00:09:05.000
health because of bad teeth.

00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:07.000
Danny is just an example.

00:09:07.001 --> 00:09:11.001
He had the training and foresight to
safeguard his teeth, and when danger struck,

00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:15.001
he stopped the decay that could have
sapped his health and made him unfit to

00:09:15.001 --> 00:09:17.001
serve his country at a time when it needed him.

00:09:18.001 --> 00:09:22.001
On the state of his health and all our health,
may in a very large degree

00:09:22.001 --> 00:09:24.001
depend the strength of our defense.

00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:27.001
Danny is ready. He has prepared.

00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:30.001
And the men who are in the armed forces,
they will be prepared.

00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.000
They will get the dental care they need.

00:09:33.001 --> 00:09:38.000
But the men in industry, farmers, students,
housewives, children, how about them?

00:09:38.001 --> 00:09:41.000
Are they getting the proper
dental care as individuals

00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:42.001
or as members of the community?

00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:48.000
As a matter of fact, you're part of the
strength or weakness of this country.

00:09:49.000 --> 00:09:49.001
How about you?

00:09:49.001 --> 00:10:03.001
Thank you.
